However in February of this year, Alderman came back to Infinity Ward as Multiplayer Project Director, even stating that he never expected to be able to come back. But, according to his Linkedln page, he only worked at Infinity Ward for 4 months. He left in May 2015, and as of June 2015, he’s back at Respawn as the Lead Multiplayer Designer. It’s unclear as to why he decided to depart Infinity Ward so quickly.

Infinity Ward’s next title is expected to launch in Fall 2016, as Activision transitioned Call of Duty studio development into a three year cycle. Sledgehammer Games and Treyarch’s first title on the three year cycle have been released, but we have yet to see what Infinity Ward can do.
